Cheesy-Italian Pressure Cooker Potatoes

.
I am really enjoying my pressure cooker. I hope some of you still on the fence will finally take the leap and try the pressure cooker out. It will save you time, money and energy. Not to mention the delicious dinners you will be able to create in literally minutes.

We love red potatoes at our house and I served these alongside grilled rib-eye steaks the other night. I think I’m just surprised at the texture after a short cooking time…they are just perfect.

One pound of red potatoes scrubbed and quartered were enough for the four of us for dinner.

Sauteing the potatoes in butter will give them a brown, appetizing color.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I know I’ve talked here about Litehouse Freeze Dried Herbs and how much I love them. This is their Italian seasoning. Look at the size of the herbs, so much better than the ground versions Find them if you can.

The potatoes have finished cooking and are looking delicious.

Sprinkled with cheese they are packed with flavor and make the perfect side dish for almost any meal. It is really surprising how much flavor is infused during the cooking process.

Directions

Close cover securely; place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Bring cooker to full pressure over high heat. Once a steady stream of steam is established, turn heat down to med-high to keep the stream going; cook for five minutes. Adjust the heat if needed.

Remove from heat and immediately release pressure until it is completely reduced. Place potatoes on a serving tray and sprinkle with kosher salt and cheese. Serve immediately.

Comments

I love my pressure cooker, but red potatoes are a food tha
t can probably be prepared faster in a microwave, and with less clean up. Micrwaves do terrible things to baking potatoes, but cooks small red potatoes perfectly. And mediumish red potatoes as well, if they are cut up as you did for this dish.

Frankly, I gave up on my pressure cooker. It made awesome beans, but they were often burned, because you cannot stir things in a pressure cooker while they are cooking. The little rubber pressure valve in the top frequently fell out & it was difficult to find a replacement, except online. Sometimes the cool down time required more time overall than had I cooked the meal on the stove top or in the oven. I try not to use the microwave too much as it re-arranges the molecules in the food, rendering it to be something different than it was when it went in there & kills many nutrients.

Hi Carol, sorry to hear about your bad luck. I have never heard of anything burning in the pressure cooker. It’s possible your stove heat was turned up too high. And the cool down thing. Sometimes I wait 10 minutes and then I just release the release pressure. I’ve never waited for anything to cool completely itself. I don’t have that kind of time. I haven’t had any issue with the pressure valve.

I’m sorry but I thought you said an electric pressure cooker not a slow cooker. As far as a slow cooker, I’m just not sure how you would duplicate with cooking times, you’d have to experiment yourself.

I parboiled the potatoes. Then melted butter in a skillet and browned potatoes, added broth and boiled off. Added cheese, herbs and salt at end. Don’t have a pressure cooker but recipe was a “must do” THANKS

I wish you’d get on an airplane and fly into Denver and make me use my pressure cooker! These potatoes seem harmless enough, I should give them a try this week. Such an easy and perfect meal, potatoes and steak.

Just curious, which pressure cooker did you use? I assume the time to cook would be different. Also, I would like to buy a pressure cooker and I’m debating between electric and nonelectric. I’ve read reviews but I would like to hear the pros and cons of each one if you have tips to share!

The microwave does much more than destroy the food, Mandy. Or rearrange the molecules of the food, Carol Zumalt, microwaved food will also boost your white cell count and lower your immune system. A Swiss Doctor did a study, tried to publish his results, and then was sued. He persisted and his case went to the top Court in the European Union and the Doctor won.

The less you can use your microwave – or even not use it at all – the better it is for your health overall. You couldn’t pay me to use or eat microwaved food. Using my pressure cooker has been so much better, healthier and fast. I just found your site and am looking forward to checking out the recipes.

HI! I’M CATHY.

Hi! I’m Cathy. I’ve escaped from a peculiar
Northern California college town that built an
underground tunnel to save toads from the
potentials of vehicular frog-slaughter. I now
live in Mcminnville, Oregon where my husband
and I have planted a vineyard, started a winery
and make wine in the heart of Oregon wine
country. I love mayonnaise, butter and
Jewish men. Barry, Jerry and Larry come to
mind. Gluttony is my sin of choice. Welcome
to my weird and wonderful world.
